Getting older now for too long I have stayed quiet and let things run its course. Always spectating behind the tv screen saying it’s far away doesn’t concern me. 🙏 Staying quiet is not an option anymore ✌️

‪China’s new export controls on rare earths and key minerals may apply globally, but the real target is the USA.These materials power America’s tech, defence, and EV industries,making Washington the one with the most to lose.Beijing isn’t just limiting exports; but has leverage.‬

Just how close to the Canadian border will be that base? Must be some security risk attached for your government too right?

Not this again freaking dementia Taco imposing 100% Tariffs on China AGAIN
🤨

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.
Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

Someone not taking the Noble Prize snub well

Trump blasts China’s export controls on rare earths, calling them hostile and monopolistic. He vows U.S. retaliation with tariffs and countermeasures, warning of rising trade tensions.

Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump
Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it's not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would "clog" the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they've been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right!
There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World "captive," but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the "Magnets" and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China's. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so.

“When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist”, the Nobel Committee said in its citation.

It’s all geopolitical and soft power politics. Nominations stops in January and if/when she wins and actually changes and privatises the oil in her country who will actually win

Her biggest policy, privatising Venezuela's Oil Reserves, the largest in the world, worth nearly $100tn.

China hits US vessels with retaliatory port fees
In short: the direct cost to the U.S. economy might be limited at first, but the signal to markets and companies is huge
it raises uncertainty,could slow trade,and adds pressure in an already tense U.S. China relationship.
